Tom Brady epitomizes the, “Ugh, I hate that guy,’ sentiment in sports fans … but, why?
Sports fans are a weird bunch. I know this, because I am one. As we grow, it’s important to analyze our own thoughts and biases, and why we feel the way we do about things. The way we feel about teams and players should be no different. How many times have you had a conversation about an athlete or ...

Mark Cuban finds it hilarious that financial giants are taking an L to Reddit
Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks, has big money. According to Forbes’ real-time billionaires tracker (which is just so gross), he’s worth $4.2 billion. I feel like it deserves to be written with the zeroes for perspective. That’s $4,200,000,000. Cuban, however, is on the side of the little ...

Masahiro Tanaka won’t make it to Cooperstown, but — like hoops' Hall — there should be room for stories like his
In seven seasons with the Portland Trail Blazers, Arvydas Sabonis averaged 12 points and 7.3 rebounds per game. His biggest accomplishments were being the NBA’s Player of the Week at the end of March in 1996, and finishing 12th in the league in total rebounds in 1997-98....
Damian Lillard or Steph Curry — who’s the better daily fantasy play for tonight?
To quote Joe Budden: This week has been a two-pack of ass. As far as fantasy basketball goes, we’re not looking out at an eventful overall slate until Friday. Even still, while tonight presents its challenges, it’s also an opportunity to play someone you never would due to lack of options, and be pl...

The NCAA needs Duke, Kentucky & North Carolina to stop being terrible
As we approach March, it’s becoming quite clear that casual fans who only pay attention to the sport when it’s time to fill out their annual brackets are starting to get a little confused as the landscape of college basketball looks unfamiliar this season. As of Thursday, the combined records of Duk...
Senior Bowl preview: Which players stood out on the first day of practice?
In a year where we won’t have an NFL Scouting Combine, the Reese’s Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama will have even more weight than normal. For the players in Mobile, it’s a great opportunity to compete against good talent and put solid film on tape. Practice matters just as much, if not more, than th...
Scotty Miller is extremely wrong in thinking he can outrun Tyreek Hill
Buccaneers wide receiver Scotty Miller just lied to himself, the rest of the NFL, and the entire American public. This man suggested that he would beat Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill in a race, and in fact thinks of himself as the fastest guy in the NFL....
The GameStop revolution <i>probably</i> won’t sink Steve Cohen and the Mets, but
The hope for the little guy, which all of us are, is that one day hell would come to breakfast for the hedge-fund tools that are pretty close to ruining baseball, the country, and the globe. And at that point, through some inexplicable force that could only be karma, they would all have to work at W...
The most scandalous things to happen at the Super Bowl

Will Clint Capela’s historic four-game fantasy stretch continue against Brooklyn?
Sometimes your targets are so far below your price range that you laugh at how easily you’ll take them. And in other instances, the bookkeepers raise their value so much, causing you to contemplate reevaluating your choices. That happened to some degree here, but still, I’m sticking to it. FanDuel i...
With A-Rod and Big Papi on ballot next year, gatekeepers of Cooperstown will face a reckoning
Just as most writers want, to get the affirmation they apparently crave by denying millionaires access to a club, no one will enter the Baseball Hall of Fame this summer. Once again, they have kept the sanctuary safe from the heathen of Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens, as they see it. They won’t get t...
Amid Shaq-Donovan Mitchell beef, Utah House passes resolution that <i>Kazaam</i> sucked
In today’s “sports are hilarious” moment, the Utah House of Representatives decided to actually hear, and vote, on a resolution “honoring Donovan Mitchell over Shaquille O’Neal,” which also included naming “Spida” the official state arachnid. Apparently, elected officials decided that young Jazz sta...

$1.5B in debt, Barcelona are broke-ass broke — and royally FC'd
We’ve spent the past year casting doubt upon American sports franchises’ claims of just how much an effect the pandemic had on their finances. They claim “biblical” losses left and right, while never bothering to provide any information to confirm that. Well, thankfully, unless you’re a Barcelona su...
